sh.Run explanation for opening applications 1

[rockofvictory]

I had received some help a while ago on a different website on how to open multiple applications with one vbs shortcut. I don't know vbs, so hopefully this will be an easy one for you guys and gals:

set sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sh.Run """iexplore",1,false
sh.Run """explorer",1,false
sh.Run """C:\Program Files\Radmin\radmin.exe",1,false
set sh = nothing

What does ",1,false" mean? I would like a delay between opening files, if possible. How would I do that?

The syntax of the Run method is:

object.Run(strCommand,[intWindowStyle],[bWaitOnReturn])

1 for intWindowStyle means strCommand is run with this standard window size and position.
bWaitOnReturn is a boolean saying if your script must suspend itself until strCommand complete execution.
For delaying:

WScript.Sleep intTime

where intTime is a number of milliseconds.

Awesome. SO helpful. What a great little tool.

What are some other intWindowStyle options - or even better, where can I find a list of all these operations and functions?
